The Return

Ok.
I think four months is a pretty good rest.
And If you've been checking this for four months and been sorely disappointed at the lack of posts, Your persistance has paid off.

Its time to enter the half-marathon dance ONCE again.

here's the catch.
there's not going to be an official announcement of this one for a while. Not as much hype. I'm just going to quietly do this one and see what happens. So if you're still reading this, then congratulations, youre still in the loop.
I just need some new shoes. I'll get those on thursday. The doctor recommended kind for my arthritis.

SO...

December 2nd in Randleman. If any of you live in Randleman and would like to offer your spare room that would be awesome...haha.

no seriously. email me.

Anyway...thats 12 weeks. 12 weeks to 13.1 miles.

Good times.

Its nice to feel the pressure again.
hehe.

Lets see if I can actually TRAIN for this one.

Shall we dance?!

Whats funny is, when I think about doing this, I instantly think of all the money I should spend. I should get some new shoes and some new work out clothes, then maybe a magazine subscription to motivate me, I should join a gym so I can practice in any kind of weather, and lets not forget all the fancy sport foods...geesh.
I think I'm going to try and simplify.
Now I'm just going to train with what I've got. I'll put more time into training than money into special stuff. Who cares if its wicking, or if the socks are soft enough, or if the shoe has the right support for my pronation...I'm only 28, this doesnt exactly have to be comfortable. I can handle the beating for three months.
Three months. wow...that's pretty soon.
exciting.

listless

I'm not sure what is going on in my head, but i'm very uninspired lately. i feel like there is so much more I should be doing, but its like i'm watching life from through a window. like i have no real impact on the story, i just sit and watch it unfold and hope the story starts getting adventurous. I'm chosing to call it uninspired because that still leaves the door open for me to have some kind of impact. Like if i could just muster up some passion for something I would be able to find some great purpose and meaning in what I'm doing. I'm thinking about all the kids going back to school and the college students heading off for a new year, and I'm finding that I'm jealous. My life doesnt cycle like that anymore. There is no rise and fall with the seasons. There is no connection to the calendar. Everyday bleeds by in the same numbing pattern. My clothes barely even change with seasons anymore. everyday finds itself looking exactly like the last: wake up l...

whats your self worth?

People have said, something is only worth what someone would pay for it. If what you're selling, no one is buying, then what you have is pretty worthless. But there are stores out there that sell all kinds of things and so the market makes room for them. People are the same. Some people are beautiful, but useless for more than their looks. Like a painting they are worth a lot because people see them as rare.But, some people can go their whole lives without decorating. Some people are useful and so are worth a lot because they fulfill some purpose. Hardworking, or smart, they are seen has having some value that makes them worth the investment. Then there are people I'd characterize as novelty people. You buy them because you've just never seen anything like them. They're especially entertaing or unique. They don't cost a lot, so you can't pass them up. Then there are bargain people. They don't cost much, arent worth much and don't last long. They fill a s...

Musical Unity: A response to Michael Gungor

When I first started listening to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) the only people around were Amy Grant and Michael W Smith. Maybe Kathy Tricolli and Sandi Patty...Any maybe Carmen, but why mention Carmen? Shortly before I started listening to CCM there was no such thing as CCM. The 80s were just about a barren wasteland for Christian entertainment. We had a handle on good old Gospel and regular people started writing worship music. My life wouldn't be the same without Keith Green. But then came the 90s. WHAT an AMAZING time!! Right? DC talk, Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys, OC Supertones...Holy Music COW! If you were a young Christian, you could turn your radio up proudly and still feel cool. It was EPIC. From 15-21 I didn't listen to much other than CCM. Only the cool CCM of course. The stuff that the local Christian radio station only played on Friday Nights. Then I hit 21 and was, practically overnight, too cool for CCM. I bought a soapbox on top of which I declared ...
